Briefed Cabinet on Korea.

Russian propaganda line now includes possible sabotage of defense
production in Western Europe.
CHAPMAN
Testified before House committee on St. Lawrence Seaway yesterday
and thinks we have made some headway.
BRANNAN
Farm commodity price index has gone up some. Wheat and others are
now at parity level. Milk is just about to reach parity level which
will cause trouble as we will have to face possible consumer increase
or consumer subsidies if milk goes above parity at production level.
TOBIN
Meats in some categories above parity has caused increase in price
index at consumer level. Some thought might be given to meat subsidies
at production levels to get prices back to parity.
WILSON
Milk producers are now having some maintenance problem in cans
due to shortage of 1808 steel which is in very tight supply. This may
get serious unless we can loosen up steel for milk companies.
